How to do the Curtsy Lunge Hold

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart and arms relaxed.
2. Step one foot diagonally back behind the other, crossing at the thighs.
3. Bend both knees to lower your hips until the front thigh is near parallel and the back knee hovers above the floor.
4. Bring your hands in front of your chest and hold the position while breathing steadily.

Tips

• Keep your chest lifted and spine tall.
• Press through the front heel and squeeze the glutes to stay steady.

Adjustments

• Lightly touch a wall or chair for balance support.
